Where (what country) did you find it. ?
Just out of curiousity, what brand of tyres are on it ?

Thank you all for your very detailed replies.

I found it in Greece and the tires are Lien Shin 275-17.

You've all made me a bit worried about attempting to fix it. For starters I need to find a way to ship it back to the UK.
Having said that, I've given the bike a good looking over and there is no structural or serious rust issues - all of it seems to be surface rust.

I'm not sure if what I say next will have me banned for life from this forum, but I've been thinking that I wouldn't replace the 50cc engine instead fitting an electric motor? Potentially a hub motor, and battery pack and electrical components where the engine should be.

Hi All,

This is my first post, I have been given this motorbike by an uncle and I'm thinking about getting it fixed up.

I can't find anything on the net that can help me identify what it is. It seems like it had a single cylinder (two tail pipes merged into one) engine.  Based on a second or third hand story I suspect that it might be Russian but I find that hard to believe because it has a CEV f.lli pagani headlamp. However, apart from the headlamp and "F" on the fuel tank, there are no other markings that I can find to help identify it.

Any help would be most appreciated.

John
